A Demon Inside
We used to be so
close. Every time I needed you you were there, always with the right
words but just lately you have distanced yourself further and further
away from me and I don't know why.
Everything will
work out. That's what
people have told me but, as I continue to sit and stare into space
with my mind whirring maniacally, I can't see any way out. I take
another piece of paper from the pile, place it in front of me and
pick up my pencil once more.
“Come on you can
do this, you have to,” I call out to nobody but myself, the sound
of my voice echoing around the small room, taunting me.
Placing the pencil
on the paper I stare down, willing it to start moving, start forming
the words that used to flow so sweetly but it just sits there,
mocking me.
You can do this,
it's easy the voice inside my
head says and, just for a second, I feel the pencil start to move
across the paper as I fight against the demon. Only this demon is too
strong and the pencil stops, fucking writer's block has won once
again.

Oh dear Julez! Funny post but l know it's how you feel right now! It will pass, l promise!
yup.... all so true
I can relate in an up close, personal way! No teasing intended, take care of you. Take a vacation, enjoy experiences and new adventures. Beautifully written. Very stark reality, which is always amazing!
Writers Block as a Demon. Great Analogy.
Good policy. If you're blocked, then write about your block. And write it with humour and finesse. You've still got it, Jules. The Muse will return and set you back on fire.
Such a raw post, one every writer can identify with.
God, that is all too familiar. :(
ouch, the block, yep we can all relate to that. i hope you shake it soon but still a brillant tease,
I deeply understand your plight and hope it passes soon. Your ability to write is proven with this Teaser. You captured the raw emotions and tiresome frustrations of writer's block to exact perfection.
